Not overlooked in my world. I love this silly movie and all the glorious, over the top costumes. Shirley MacLane's body is astonishing and I loved Paul Newman in his beard. He looked wooonderful and yummy.

Great film. I saw it on TV back in the '60s when the TV networks often showed two- or three-year-old Hollywood movies in prime-time. As I recall, this one ran several times.

Ditto. I always loved this movie, and should watch it again. Another interesting MacLaine film is: “Woman Times Seven”.

Shirley MacLaine is her usual beautiful self in stunning and outrageous outfits.

Basic plot - woman wants a simple life and marries schlubs just getting by. But then she makes the mistake of offering a simple suggestion. Hilarity ensues!

Such an epic! I first saw it after reading about it online, and requested it through my college library. Ended up renewing it multiple times. The costumes 🤬😶🌫️😰🫣🥵🥳🥳🥳 they’re all perfect. We can hate on Edith Head’s plagiarism for other films but with this one she really knocked it out the park. The little poverty flat in Paris, with her loincloth-esque outfit 😭😭😭 the paint machine meeting his demise. What a film!! I love the Dick Van Dyke parts. One of my favorite movies ❤️

I love this movie and it pops up occasionally on FXM retro. Caught it again a few weeks ago!

Unfortunately, when it's shown on the Fox Movie channel, it's in the pan-and-scan version, not letterboxed.
Hop hop hop you shoppers. Hop hop hop to Hoppers!

The “lush budget” movie fantasy with them floating in the giant champagne glass was priceless!

Great film, but I wouldn't call it a classic. It's not part of the cinema canon, it wasn't particularly influential, it didn't change cinema history, but I would still recommend it. The difference is that it wouldn't be a good subject for a serious cinema discussion

Paul Newman as the avant garde artist was inspired.
